1t seems to be characteristic of this
self-suflicient age to belittle as much as
possible, those achievements of the past
which have hitherto challenged the pow =

modern incredulity has reached such a
stage that it doubts not only the author
ship but even the substance itself of that
great moral guide which has received the
careful study OF the wisest men. Nor
does this skepticism end here; even the
existence of the authors themselves is
severely questioned and long lines OF
proof are adduced to demonstrate the in
correctness OF that which has for ages
been held as fact.
Not only have the various historical
features of the Bible been disputed. and
the human lite OF Christ been deprecated
